BMW i3 BEV Versus REx Production Breakdown

For US-bound BMW i3s, the breakdown into early/mid May is shown in the graphics below:

BMW i3 REx

BMW i3 BEV

Basically, these graphics show that BMW is building twice as many REx trims for US buyers as it is BEV versions.

Unfortunately, the trail is starting to run dry in our attempt to track production, as is obvious in the omission of the last two weeks of May and first week of June for the BEV. However, both graphics are based on 92 calendar days and we suspect they more or less mirror the current REx versus BEV production rates.

BMW i8 Production

As an added bonus, we’ve got some production details on the BMW i8. First US deliveries for the i8 are expected to start in early August.

This graphic shows 432 total builds from march 5, 2014 through March 27, 2014 (23 days), or 18.8 BMW i8s built per day.
